BasisCode Compliance LLC (www.basiscode.com) is a leading provider of regulatory compliance software solutions. The advisory council consists of leading compliance consulting firms that provide input for the continuing development of BasisCode's award-winning Compliance Consultant Manager software platform.

The BasisCode Advisory Council offers independent guidance and industry insights reflecting ongoing changes in the regulatory environment as well as feedback from investment advisers. The council's input ensures BasisCode will continue to serve the evolving needs of industry consultants and their clients.

Headquartered in Medford, Oregon, Focus 1 has offices in or near Newport Beach and Pasadena, Calif.; Tampa Bay, Fla.; and Derry, N.H. The company's clients include institutional wealth advisers, family offices and advisers to private funds. It offers a complete suite of compliance services from consulting, assistance with their annual compliance review and mock SEC examinations to outsourced chief compliance officers (CCO).

Focus 1 implemented the BasisCode Compliance software platform at the beginning of the year to improve compliance management for its U.S. and non-U.S. client base. It is joining the advisory council following a recent purchase of key assets from Advisor Solutions Group, Inc., a Newport Beach, Calif. based regulatory compliance consulting firm.

"Combining the experience and judgement of the BasisCode Advisory Council and with time-tested technology will allow us to better serve and educate our clients."

Joseph Stowell, who leads Focus 1's outsourced CCO division said, "by participating in the BasisCode Advisory Council, I hope to leverage the council's expertise while providing 'hands-on' insights on how technology can address our clients' compliance needs and provide advice and perspective that is experienced, practical and timely. I'm looking forward to working with BasisCode and this core group of industry peers."

"The mission of the BasisCode Advisory Council is to better serve our consultant partners and their clients," said Carlos Guillen, BasisCode Compliance president and CEO. "Adding Focus 1's expertise to the council as well as their insights into improving our platform, will further support that mission and better prepare compliance and regulatory consultants with the tools they'll need to handle constantly changing regulatory challenges."
